Qing Fibre Kid Silk Mohair, Twilight Iris — Hand-Dyed Young Mohair / Silk, 919yd / 3.5oz

A storm-cloud-and-iris skein. Denim and slate blues pulling into near-black, with a flash of magenta and a soft lilac where the dyer let the colour break open — like a storm front with one lit window underneath. A single one-of-one skein.

The bulk of the skein lives in deep, atmospheric blues — denim, slate, the kind of near-black that still reads as blue under shawl-light — and just when the colourway threatens to go too dark, a band of magenta and a wash of lilac cut across the middle of the hank like an iris in full bloom against thunder. Knit alone as a brushed-mohair lace shawl, the colours move from grey morning to dusk to lit-window in a single piece. Held over a charcoal or navy fingering, the magenta lifts forward and becomes the whole story. Once it sells, this exact moment is gone.

This listing is for one full skein. We have 1 skein of Twilight Iris — denim, slate, black, magenta, lilac in stock — the one and only. Each skein is approximately 100 g / 3.5 oz / 840 m / ~919 yards, laceweight Qing Fibre Kid Silk Mohair. A true one-skein listing — once it sells, this colourway is gone.

About the base. Qing Fibre Kid Silk Mohair is a British-spun, hand-dyed luxury laceweight — 70% young mohair / 30% spun silk, 100 g / 840 m (~919 yards) per skein. Young mohair gives a softer, finer halo than standard kid mohair — the kind that catches light around a stitch without scratching at the neck. The spun silk core takes dye with a deeper, wetter saturation than standard silk-mohair bases, which is why every Qing Fibre colourway reads as painted rather than printed. Worked solo it knits up airy and translucent — the colour floats in a cloud rather than sitting on a strand. Held double with a fingering or sport, it adds a halo of colour over a plainer base, the way watercolour adds depth over a pencil sketch.
